Edwards now fully appreciates his mother’s wisdom and spiritual guidance, admitting that her decision shaped his journey.
Popular gospel singer Frank Edwards has paid tribute to his mother.
In a post on Mother’s Day, he recounted how she once stopped him from signing a $320,000 (now worth N492 million) music contract that could have cost him control over his work.
Edwards took to his social media page to make the revelation.
He wrote:
“The very first time in my life years ago, I was to close a $320,000 deal from a group that wanted to almost own my entire catalogue. You said NO! And I quote you: ‘The 150,000 naira I gave you to start that studio is bigger than that money, just give it time. They are not of God.’
“In fact, you took my international passport away from me just to ensure I don’t travel to close that deal. I was laughing because I didn’t need to travel to close it, but then I listened to you. After you said that, I was thinking, ‘How is 150,000 Naira bigger than $320,000?'” he stated.
“Now I understand. There is so much to say! But like I said, this space is not enough! Happy Mother’s Day, mum!!! Thank you for everything. Thank you for an impenetrable wall of fire! Thank you for always telling me the mind of God about the things I’m doing. None of your words fell to the ground because you truly hear from God,” he added.
